French Summer Camps

Summer Camps at Ma classe! offer younger kids aged 4-8 a unique blend of French language classes, recreational activities (arts & craft, baking classes, salt-dough workshops, visual arts and outdoor activities). Students are divided into small groups depending on their age and level of proficiency in French (Core French / beginner, French Immersion).

Our benefits

Small groups: our FSL instructors take care of only 6-8 kids all throughout the program. As FSL specialists and French native speakers, they can not only connect with the kids better but also track their progress in French, identify their learning strategies and thus provide better guidance.

Convenient location: we operate from a small but beautiful centre located right across High Park, one of Toronto’s largest parks, which includes a zoo, some recreational and natural gardens, several picnic areas, and a huge playground for kids called “Adventure Park”. All our outdoor activities usually take place in High Park. Our location is conveniently located on Bloor St West - a 2-minute walk away from the subway station.

Short, engaging class periods: we teach a variety of French programs all year long and specialize in second language instruction for kids; we understand that summer camps should be a break from school and purely academic activities. Our camps include 2 short class periods (about 40 min each) based on academic resources used in French Immersion or Core French. We aim to make these sessions fun and lively by using age/level-appropriate visual support and learning games, songs. The learning of the French language continues all throughout the day with recreational activities in French (see below) where instructors speak French with the kids most of the time.

Recreational activities: they include some activities offered in our most popular programs during the year (Bake & Learn French, Play & Learn French). Based on specific themes presented during the language instruction sessions, they are meant to foster students’ creativity and expose them to casual, spoken French while having fun.
